Walks
Diabetes UK Northern & Yorkshire
Walking is a great way of combining gentle exercise with raising much-needed funds to help people with diabetes.
Walk in the Park is our long-standing and hugely successful series of sponsored walks held in parks across the UK. These usually take place from late spring, and throughout the summer.
We have also introduced other walks to our fundraising events programme, to offer a variety of ways to get walking in support of Diabetes UK.
If no forthcoming events are listed below, please check back later - new events are added regularly.
Forthcoming events
Walks in Cleethorpes, Gateshead, Hadrians Wall, Holy island, Hull, Leeds, Leeds City Centre, Newcastle City, Centre, Rotherham, Sheffield, Stockton on Tees, Wakefield, York
Join the Viking Way challenge by walking the first section of the walk between Barton on Humber and Barnaby on the Wold.
Diabetes UK is hoping to have people walking on every section of the 145 mile long Viking Way on 20 September next year. The first section is 14 miles.

Diabetes UK works closely with Nova International, the organisers of the BUPA Great North, Manchester and South Runs, to name a few. Recently launched, the Great Activity Revolution, is a national activity campaign aiming to get over 2 million people a year active and engaged in mass participation sporting events by 2012.
Diabetes UK have signed up to this campaign as regular exercise is beneficial to the prevention and management of Diabetes and its related complications.
